The twin engine airplane took off on a private flight from Crocodile Nest Private Aerodrome near Thabazimbi in Limpopo province to Deza Private Aerodrome, west of Thabazimbi, in the same province. Visual meteorological conditions (VMC) by day prevailed at the time of the flight. The flight was conducted under the provisions of Part 91 of the Civil Aviation Regulations (CAR) 2011 as amended. According to the pilot, the flight from Crocodile Nest Private Aerodrome to Deza Private Aerodrome was approximately 15 minutes. The aircraft approached from the south-east and landed in a north-westerly direction on Runway 34, which is an upslope. During the landing roll as the aircraft slowed down with an indicated airspeed of 20-25 knots, it drifted to the left of the runway and the left wheel rolled over the soft sand. The left wing tip tank impacted the trees on the side of the runway and broke off. As a result, the aircraft turned 90 degrees before it impacted another tree with its nose section. The aircraft sustained substantial damage and the occupants were not injured. After the accident, it was found that the first tree that the left-wing tip tank impacted was located approximately 98 metres (m) from the runway threshold. The farm owner of the land on which the private aerodrome is located stated that the runway is 1,300 metres long and 20 metres wide. The tree line span alongside the length of the runway.
